Im finishing up a cake this morning and they are requesting a giant letter on top of the cake.. my experience with this is.. bad. I can never get the letter to stand on the top of the cake... do you back it with some kind of candy stick.. push it into the cake?
I have used the candy stick and stuck it onto the back of the letter with candy melts, or if the letter is really thick , I have put the stick right in the center of the letter. I have also used wire whem I am doing a thin gumpaste letter. Be sure to let it dry completely or it will droop.
I make my numbers and letters several days before I need them to give them time to dry out. I use just plain fondant sometimes and others fondant and gum tex or tylose. I also usually put a skewer through them before they dry so I can place them on the cake.
